What I wore: Gatsby.



Its a given I'm reading a F.Scott Fitzgerald novel at the moment, I mean, just look at the way I'm dressed. I can't help it! 

I find myself wanting to speak in 1920's grammar. Anyone else experiencing this?   

So, my outfit, I shouldn't have to explain. Brogues, floaty lacy things, pin curls, you get the gist. I'm totally hooked. Just don't let me dress like a flapper...in the day (evening is fine, I'm guessing). 



Blazer- Instant Vintage.
Scarf- Peacocks.
Dress- A shop in Soho, NY (around 5 years ago!)
Leggings- M&S
Bag- Mulberry
Brouges- L.K. Bennett






Behind the scenes: No, I'm not clutching my non pregnant belly, I'm in fact taking a picture of my outfit (birds eye view styley), so I can post it on twitter #truestory. 


My handbag, is one of my most precious things. A present from my mum and dad for my 21st. I didn't ask for it, and I think I nearly cried tears of joy. Edna (mulberry named her, not me!), is just stunning.

My Week in Pictures...


My life according to my Phone pictures: Lots of feet snapping, Autumnal vegetables and time with Coco.

Sounds about right!

Bought this week...



 Subconsciously, I think I've got a slight Carly Simmons circa 'your so vain' obsession when I shop. I do have a love for 70's style clothing, but even this is slightly too far.







I'm so pleased with by shopping trip! I picked up some long leather gloves, I have been searching for  a pair, forever! 

The jumpsuit will have to wait until spring!

What I wore: I think that we are going to be friends...



"Fall is here, hear the yell 

back to school, ring the bell 
brand new shoes, walking blues 
climb the fence, book and pens 
i can tell that we are gonna be friends"
- The white Stripes.

This time of year always has me humming that song.... 
Autumn leaves, cosy knits, hearty food and with bonfire night and Halloween just around the corner..I love Autumn!





Coat- Killah.
Bag- Urban outfitters.
Dress- Instant Vintage.
Boots- Russell and Bromley. 


Now, I'm off to make pumpkin soup...

Coco's first walk on the beach...



Around a month ago, Zach, my parents and I took Coco to Lyme Regis for the day. Its by far my favourite seaside town; sweet little shops, cosy pubs and its very dog friendly. Its very easy on the eye too!

Well, we know our girl is good looking, but the attention she got from other dogs...wow. Think we'll have to keep an eye on this one!








I decided not to put pictures of Coco taking a number two on a pebble beach. Lets just say, my poor mother had to bin some pebbles. I haven't laughed that much in a long time  ever.

I'd love to know more about dog friendly seaside towns...do any of my fabulous followers know of any (preferably with pretty shops too)?

What I wore: What do you think about hat?


I'd gone and done it.. I've bought a floppy hat. I've wanted one for a very long time, but I don't know if I can pull it off.

I think with the right thing, I could make it work? I was wearing this outfit when I bought it...so I just stuck it on! Zach hates it...





Hat- Monsoon.
Scarf- Lisbeth Dahl.
Dress- F&F at Tesco.
Belt- Dorothy Perkins.
Bag- Urban Outfitters.
Boots- Russell and Bromley.
